Assessment of Water Quality Using Physico-chemical Parameters of Çamlıgöze Dam Lake in Sivas, Turkey
Seher Dirican

Abstract: The present study was carried out with the aim to assess of water quality using physico-chemical parameters of Çamlıgöze Dam Lake located at Central Anatolian region of Turkey. For this purpose, water samples were collected from surface and 10 m depth from two stations selected in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake. The physico-chemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, conductivity, salinity, secchi disc depth, nitrate, nitrite, orto-phosphate, sulfate, chloride, total hardness, calcium and magnesium were analyzed in the water samples. By assessing the physico-chemical data according to the Turkish water pollution control regulation, the water quality classes of the chosen stations in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake were determined as class-I in respect to the pH, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate and chloride. Water temperature, conductivity, salinity and orto-phosphate of Çamlıgöze Dam Lake were within desirable limits. Çamlıgöze Dam Lake could be classified as moderately hard in terms of total hardness. It was categorized as mesotrophic by secchi disc depth. Based on the values of the obtained physico-chemical parameters, it can be concluded that the Çamlıgöze Dam Lake water quality was good and did not show any significant pollution problem. The results obtained from the present study shall be useful in future management of the Çamlıgöze Dam Lake.
